Description

Strawberry Dirty Sprite is a refreshingly sweet, slightly tangy, and fizzy homemade beverage combining fresh strawberries, citrus zest, and sparkling lemon-lime soda. Perfect for cooling off on warm days or entertaining guests, this easy-to-make drink allows you to customize the sweetness and enjoy a vibrant, natural flavor without artificial additives.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup chilled Sprite or lemon-lime soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint sprig for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull about half a cup of fresh strawberries, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth. For a chunkier texture, pulse a few times to leave some small fruit pieces.
  2. Mix the Citrus and Sweetness: In a glass or shaker, combine 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons simple syrup with the strawberry puree. Stir well to evenly blend the tangy and sweet flavors.
  3. Add Ice and Soda: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes, then slowly pour in 1 cup of chilled Sprite or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a fresh strawberry slice and a sprig of mint if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy optimal fizz and freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries and fresh lemon juice for the best brightness and flavor.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled before mixing to maintain refreshing fizz.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by starting with less simple syrup and adding more to taste.
  • For more texture, muddle strawberries lightly instead of fully pureeing.
  • Consume immediately after preparation to enjoy the full zest and sparkle of the drink.
